Security vs Statehood: A Myopic Binary
SH Mohammeds opinion piece, Security, Stability or Statehood, (Greater Kashmir, 24 May 2026), offers perhaps the clearest public articulation of the thinking that underpins the Centres position on restoring statehood to J&K. It presents a coherent, security-first case for retaining the Union Territory framework as a stabilising national-security architecture rather than a temporary administrative arrangement. The argument is neither without merit, nor without supporters at the decision-making levels. There can be no disputing his premise that J&K occupies a uniquely sensitive frontier. Indeed, it was precisely for this reason that it had a special constitutional status. Nor can the decades of insurgency, cross-border terrorism and institutional weakening which created genuine vulnerabilities be wished away. Yet the article ultimately rests on a myopic binary: security versus statehood; the former must precede any meaningful restoration of representative governance. This sequencing assumes that political aspirations can be held in abeyance while administrative control delivers order. To treat political legitimacy as subordinate to administrative control is untenable. It is also unsustainable because effective governance ultimately requires a degree of congruence between how a society organises itself socially and how power is distributed politically. When that congruence is absent over long periods, stability becomes brittle dependent on continuous external enforcement rather than self-reinforcing consent. On the ground, with every passing day, the prolonged separation of political legitimacy from administrative authority is itself eroding the foundations of durable governance and, over time, of security as well. The current UT model institutionalises a hierarchy that is difficult to sustain in a democratic polity. An elected government possesses popular legitimacy through assembly elections yet remains structurally subservient to a central apparatus whose authority is derived from New Delhi. Ironically, this asymmetry is not new. For most part of seven decades till 2003 (except for 1977) elected governments operated under heavy central influence even while the formal shell of Article 370 remained intact. After Sheikh Abdullahs dismissal, subsequent regimes were widely perceived locally as enjoying greater legitimacy in Delhi than among significant sections of the population. The practical autonomy promised at accession was progressively diluted through constitutional orders and political engineering. That period is widely recognised as one of the deeper sources of the legitimacy crisis that later metastasised. The present UT structure reproduces this core problem in more explicit form: an elected layer with popular mandate subordinated to a non-elected, centrally directed authority. The difference is that today the arrangement is constitutionally entrenched rather than operating while maintaining the facade of a special status. Past elected regimes also carried their own legitimacy deficits dynastic tendencies, corruption and occasional suppression of dissent. The consequences extend beyond electoral sentimentality and emotional constitutionalism. They manifest in a growing mismatch between social capital and political capital. As a result, Kashmiris are experiencing a fundamental disconnect in their ability to influence or hold accountable the structures of power. This is leading to governance gaps, political alienation, and often suboptimal collective outcomes. The inability of the social resources to influence the state policy and accountability is perceived as disempowerment. The social resources exist but fail to articulate into political power or responsiveness. This creates amoral familism or enclave dynamics with weak links to broader institutions. Indeed, social capital in Kashmir is getting divided into ethnic, caste, clan, religious, or regional lines which reduces the possibilities of inclusive political formation, including coalitions. Politics in Kashmir has reinforced exclusion, clientelist or identity-based patronage which doesnt generate broad based accountability. This situation can stabilize regimes in the short-term but risks backsliding, legitimacy crises, or sudden eruptions, be it populism or unrest. People in Kashmir increasingly experience governance not as something done for them but to them. This renders even well-designed development schemes vulnerable to suspicion. What is needed in Kashmir today is a framework in which political parties, inclusive movements, and linking institutions articulate social resources into political influence. The column contends the elected UT government already wields substantial powers and points to civic issues such as urban development, garbage management, flooding, and illegal construction. This framing conflates two distinct levels of government. By focusing on municipal administration failures and citing Chandigarh and Delhi as examples of effective governance under UT or limited status, the author reduces the expectations of an elected UT administration to those of a municipal corporation. In doing so, he employs a rhetorical sleight of hand: he blames the elected side for shortcomings that fall within a municipalitys limited remit, while arguing that the UT framework itself imposes no real constraint on governance. It is a deliberate oversimplification that serves the argument for delaying statehood until stability and governance credibility are established. Yet the analysis underplays how centralised control has distorted the entire developmental design. The developmental policy has nothing to do with the local economy. Kashmir, despite its singular economic uniqueness import dependent export oriented artisanal economy with a vibrant horticultural sector is being treated like any other state, like Bihar or Orissa. Blaming local incompetence without examining the architecture that limits local ownership misses the deeper governance challenge. Historical patterns further complicate the security first, statehood later sequence. Periods of relative calm in the Valley during the early 2000s and 2010s coincided with active political processes in which elected governments exercised meaningful, if imperfect, autonomy even under Article 370. To be sure, consent-based arrangements have historically proved more resilient than control-based ones. Conversely, prolonged political vacuums and perceptions of disenfranchisement have repeatedly correlated with spikes in radicalisation and unrest. The Pahalgam attack itself, under the UT framework, demonstrated that kinetic superiority and central coordination alone do not eliminate vulnerabilities when local intelligence, community trust and rapid political signalling are weak. Fiscal arguments in the original piece also require scrutiny. To be clear, J&K economy doesnt depend on central transfers, the government of J&K does. The security costs are high, but this does not mean statehood would automatically sever central support. Indias federal practice has long accommodated asymmetric arrangements for strategically important regions. Social capital itself is not uniformly cohesive; it contains strong bonding ties alongside fractures that can be exploited. More than the security threats to the integrity of the state, which cannot be discounted, Jammus regional aspirations, Ladakhs separate status and the unresolved displacement of Kashmiri Pandits add further complexity. it is imperative that a realignment of political authority must incorporate robust safeguards for national security, minority protections and deradicalisation. These are non- negotiables. An alternative reality for Jammu and Kashmir envisions statehood not as a reward for perfect stability but as an instrument to achieve it: by restoring agency to elected representatives, rebuilding trust across communities, and aligning local aspirations with national security imperatives. The choice is not between security and statehood, but between a stability engendered by control and stability deepened by consent. Postscript: By labelling demands for statehood restoration as electoral sentimentality, and emotional constitutional politics, the article delves a deep and devastating blow to the foundational principles of the Constitution of India. What is being suggested is that that popular will expressed through elections or constitutional claims can be overridden by expert or security-driven reasoning. This reframes the Constitution itself as something that can be operationalised selectively, based on assessments of security rather than on the principles of a federal democracy and popular sovereignty that the document enshrines. It also moves toward a managerial constitutionalism, where the Constitution is administered from above rather than continuously legitimised through political participation and consent. The Constitution must be viewed as a framework for managing diversity and political contestation through consent, and not as a tool for achieving and retaining administrative control.

IMD predicts below-normal monsoon rainfall for India in 2026
New Delhi, May 29:The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the country is likely to receive below-normal southwest monsoon rainfall during the June-September season this year, while warning of above-normal heatwave days in several states during June. In its updated long-range forecast issued by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, the IMD said the monsoon seasonal rainfall during 2026 is likely to be around 90 per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA), with a model error margin of plus or minus 4 percent. The LPA for the monsoon season based on 1971-2020 data is 87 cm. According to the forecast, there is an 84 per cent probability of below-normal or deficient rainfall across the country during the monsoon season. The IMD said below-normal rainfall is most likely over most parts of the country, except some areas of northwest and northeast India, eastern parts of peninsular India and adjoining east-central regions, where normal to above-normal rainfall is expected. The weather agency warned that below-normal rainfall may create challenges for agriculture, drinking water supply, hydropower generation and ecosystem sustainability. It may also increase the risks of drought and heat stress in several regions. For June 2026, rainfall across the country is also expected to remain below normal at less than 92 percent of the Long Period Average. However, some parts of northwest and northeast India and several areas of south peninsular India are likely to receive normal to above-normal rainfall. The IMD further said above-normal heatwave days are expected during June over many parts of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. Isolated regions of Maharashtra, Telangana, Himachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are also likely to witness more heatwave days than usual. However, Rajasthan and Jharkhand are expected to see below-normal heatwave days during the month. The Ministry of Earth Sciences said above-normal maximum and minimum temperatures are likely over most parts of the country during June. The IMD noted that neutral El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions over the equatorial Pacific are currently transitioning towards El Nino conditions, which are likely to develop during the southwest monsoon season. Neutral Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) conditions are expected to continue during the monsoon period. The weather office advised state governments and district administrations to take necessary preparedness measures to deal with possible heatwave conditions, including ensuring safe drinking water, operational cooling shelters and stronger health surveillance systems. The IMD also urged people to remain hydrated, avoid exposure during peak afternoon hours and take special care of vulnerable individuals, including children, elderly people and outdoor workers. The department said it will issue the forecast for July rainfall in the last week of June 2026.

IMD forecasts below-normal monsoon rainfall, above-normal heatwaves in June
New Delhi , May 29 : The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday issued its second-stage long-range forecast for the southwest monsoon season, projecting below-normal rainfall across several key regions of the country while warning of heatwave conditions in multiple states starting in June. Addressing a press conference, Director General of Meteorology Dr Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said the country is expected to receive 90 per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA) rainfall during the June-September monsoon season, with a model error margin of four per cent. We are providing the second-stage update for the June-September monsoon. Quantitatively, we expect 90 per cent of the LPA, with a 4 per cent model error, Mohapatra said.According to the regional forecast, Northeast India is expected to receive normal rainfall, ranging between 94 and 106 per cent of the LPA. However, Central India, South Peninsular India, Northwest India and the Monsoon Core Zone are likely to experience below-normal rainfall during the season.Providing the outlook for June, Mohapatra said rainfall is expected to remain below normal across most parts of the country, at less than 92 per cent of the LPA. Some areas in Northwest India, Northeast India and the southern peninsula may, however, witness normal to above-normal rainfall.The IMD also forecast above-normal temperatures for most regions during June. Maximum temperatures will be above normal for most of the country, except for parts of Central, Northwest and East India. Minimum temperatures are also expected to remain mostly above normal, Mohapatra said. The weather agency warned of an above-normal number of heatwave days in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. Parts of Maharashtra, Telangana and Tamil Nadu are also likely to witness increased heatwave activity. On oceanic conditions, Mohapatra said neutral ENSO conditions are transitioning towards El Nino, with the probability of El Nino conditions increasing to 82 per cent by June and crossing 90 per cent by July and August. Neutral Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) conditions are expected to persist throughout the monsoon season.He further noted that rainfall in May has been four per cent above normal nationally, while cumulative seasonal rainfall up to May 27 stood one per cent above normal. Mohapatra said the southwest monsoon advanced into the Andaman and Nicobar Islands on May 16, four days ahead of the normal onset date. It has since progressed into the South Arabian Sea and Lakshadweep, with conditions remaining favourable for its arrival over Kerala and the northeastern states within the next week. Meanwhile, the IMD on Thursday forecasted relief from severe heat across Northwest India over the next three days due to the influence of western disturbances and easterly winds, along with thunderstorms, gusty winds and hailstorm activity in several regions.
